Everton have rejected a £28million bid from Manchester United for Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines.
United manager David Moyes previously worked at Everton and is very familiar with England left-back Baines and Belgium midfielder Fellaini.
And it has long been speculated that he might be keen to take one or both of the duo with him to Old Trafford.
However, Everton are determined to retain two of their most important players and even a bid of just under £30m has failed to shake their resolve.
Baines and Fellaini were both in the Everton line-up on Saturday as the Merseyside club began Premier League life under new boss Roberto Martinez with a 2-2 draw at Norwich.
